After some time away, we’re back with our first episode of 2026.We spent most of this one talking March Madness[00:27], going through our picks for each region, our Final Four, and a few upsets we think could shake things up. Most of us have Duke in the Final Four and think Houston can come out of their bracket, but there are definitely a few surprises mixed in.We wrap it up with the boys reflecting on their basketball seasons [22:00] — Chance finishing his senior year and Deion in middle school — talking about what they did well and what they’re looking forward to next.

We kick it off with college football week 5 [00:40], breaking down four huge ranked matchups (LSU vs. Ole Miss, Alabama vs. Georgia, and more) and making our picks. Then we dive into the NFL season so far [13:40] — surprise teams, slow starts from Kansas City and Baltimore, and our Week 4 pick ’em matchups. We close out with a look at the top fantasy football players [27:20] at each position through Week 3.

We start it off with the kickoff of the 2025 college football season [00:50], running through the ranked games and making our weekly picks for Week 1. Then we switch over to the NFL regular season win totals [13:00], giving our over/unders, talking through which teams should perform well in 2025, which might take a step back, and a quick look at possible division winners.

We’re back with all three of us at the table, starting with some NFL talk [00:40] — who we think will stand out this season and our preseason Super Bowl picks. Chance takes over with his own college football segment [09:12], breaking down last year’s 12-team playoff and which teams might improve or take a step back this year. I jump in solo to talk about the new JID album God Does Like Ugly [21:00], my thoughts on JID as an artist, and a few of my favorite tracks.

This week, we sat down to talk about the NBA offseason, including Damian Lillard heading back to Portland and Bradley Beal joining the Clippers. We got into the NBA Summer League with Cooper Flagg, Bronny James, and a few standouts we’re watching. The boys also shared some of their own summer fun—Deion’s been hitting baseball games while Chance has been on the basketball court. We wrapped things up with our Blind Ranks featuring both NFL and NBA.

In our first episode, we sit down to talk about the NBA Finals and why OKC could be the next young dynasty, break down some of the moves in the NFL offseason, and go through a Blind Rank of the top sports franchises.
